Lazy Bear
We hadn’t made any explicit plans for dinner this week, but living here in SF, we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to places to dine. So yesterday I started looking through OpenTable, Resy, and Tock and Lazy Bear was available for a 6:30 dinner. We ate here sometime pre-pandemic (seems so long…

Marlena
Tonight’s dinner was at Marlena. We last ate here in November 2021 just after they received their Michelin star. My recollection was that it was ok and very under-seasoned (just some salt would have helped), but their prix fixe pricing was very value oriented (back then it was $60/pp if I recall correctly). We’ve obviously…

Shuggie’s Trash Pie & Natural Wine
Continuing with our low key dining (Kin Khao last week), we went to Shuggie’s Trash Pie + Natural Wine in the MIssion who’s name largely explains what it’s all about.

It is the older, but little sister…

SSAL
Tonight’s dinner was at SSAL, newly awarded a Michelin star a couple weeks ago. Cuisine is Korean fine dining. The decor is Scandinavian minimalist, clean. Tables were nicely spaced out. Tasting menu was 12 courses plus the additional urchin/egg/slmon roe course I added. Favorite courses were the wagyu tartare, seaweed eel roll, the amberjack, the…

The Progress
Tonight’s dinner was at The Progress. We’ve eaten here with Trisha A. pre-pandemic (funny how we divide so many things into before covid, during, and after). I honestly don’t remember what we ate last time, but I do remember exactly where we sat and being with Trisha, but I don’t recall the food. It is…
